109. "pit bull" IS multiple breeds
And that's probably the biggest problem with the "statistics" of attacks that are being used to scare the hell out of people.

Any time there is a reported "pit bull" attack it could be a variety of breeds/mixes that actually attacked somebody. Yes some of the breeds are rather closely related but they are still individual breeds of dog.

When a "pit bull" attacks, it could be:

American Pit Bull Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Bull Terrier
Boxer mixed with just about anything
Dogo Argentino (Argentinian Mastiff)
alapaha blue blood bulldog

Among others. But, when any one of these dogs strikes, it automatically becomes a "pit bull" and the American Pit Bull Terrier breed takes the hit. :(
